I hope you enjoyed the ride because the ending was a crash landing.
The Detroit Lions, arguably the top team in the NFL with an electric offense, collapsed under the playoff lights in an embarrassing fashion. An incredible 15-2 regular season yielded just one playoff game and one playoff loss. The Lions outclassed the Washington Commanders in nearly every facet on paper, but it mattered not. The Commanders were the better team on Saturday night, and the Lions shot themselves in every possible extremity.
The defense continued to be a liability. The offense had its trickery, but the bad far outweighed the good in this one.
